Barefoot on the grass running for 4:20 (1/2 mile, a guess) in the afternoon before my daughter's soccer game. This is the advice I got for healing my PF. Had planned a 5 miler but was called into work when I thought I would have it off for sure. Some confusion at work and I was the one on call. I asked for it off for the funeral. Luckily my coworkers were helpful and one came in for me. I worked from 630 to 1030 and then attendended the funeral for Lee Ann. Another tear fest. It is just hard to not hear her voice. It was distinctive. Everyone has been blessed by her service in our ward. I am still in shock that she is gone. The emotions have made me exhausted and the four hours of non-stop work didn't help. I will not run today. Last time I ran exhausted injury was upon me. Foot was hurting at work but now it is gone. Emotions got out the pain.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. It's so hard being left in this world without the people we love. We can take comfort in knowing we will see them again someday!

Sorry to hear about your sweet VT. That is very sad.

But, it was good to read that you were pretty much pain free yesterday. That had to feel good, and the weather was nice to be out in!

SO so sorry about the loss of your friend Julie. I am very glad you decided to take the day off of running. I think you are right emotional stress + physical stress = bad combination and it is better to be smart at this point.

funny how emotional weight can cause SO much physical fatigue! I've been experiencing a lot of that myself this last week/end.

I'm glad you were able to attend the funeral despite the work mix-up. SO much more important than running. Heal well Julie (emotionally and physically).
